There are different editions of Windows 10 with

to determine the build of Windows 10 that is installed,
follow these steps.

System

-
The
About page will open,
scroll down to see more details
Under the Device specifications
, you can see if your Windows 10 is
32-bit operation system or a 64-bit
operation system

-
Under
the Windows Specifications
, you will have information related to
Edition,
Version and OS Build
Edition: The
“Edition” line tells you which edition
of Windows 10 you’re using — Windows 10
Home, Professional, Enterprise, or
Education. If you’d like to upgrade to
Windows 10 Professional, you can upgrade
to the Professional edition from within
Windows 10. Switching to Windows 10
Enterprise or Education editions will
require a complete reinstall and a
special key that isn’t made available to
normal home Windows users.
Build Number: Look at
the “Version” and “OS Build” lines. If
you have the original version of Windows
10, you’ll just see “OS Build 10240”.
This was the initial release of Windows
10. If you have the “November Update”
version of Windows 10 — Windows 10’s
first big update— you’ll see a new
version number scheme here. It’ll say
“Version 1511 (OS Build 10576.29)”.
The “1511” is the key. This number
identifies that you’re using the build
of Windows 10 released in November (the
11th month) of 2015.
In my case, my Windows 10 is version
1909 which is the
November 2019 Update ( Please check
below table )
64-bit or 32-bit: The
“System type” line tells you whether
you’re using the 32-bit version of
Windows 10 or the 64-bit version. It
also tells you whether your PC is
compatible with the 64-bit version or
not.
For example, “64-bit operating system,
x64-based processor” indicates you’re
using a 64-bit version of Windows 10 on
a 64-bit processor. “32-bit operating
system, x64-based processor” indicates
you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows
10, but you could install the 64-bit
version on your hardware if you
preferred.
